Default choosing the a cell from a range

=IF(B1=(LARGE($B$1:$B$10,{1})),B1,"") based on the formula to the left i am
able to identify the highest scoring person. However, now i want to display
that person's name a separate cell on top of the sheet.... so, i need a
function that looks at column C1:C10 and returns "Sue"

Or instead of having to do the formula above... have a funtions that looks
at the data and returns "Sue"

Thank you in advance for your help!

works great... however, what if two people have the same exact score? it
looks like based on the function below the first occurance is picked up...
can i build some kind of warning or can i show both names?
